Underbed Fifth Wheel Hitch that Automatically Slides Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500 Short Bed
Question:
I just purchased a 2016 Ram 3500 Mega Cab with air ride and I am looking for a 5th wheel hitch for it. My issue is I need a 20k hitch and I am being told it should be a sliding hitch because the bed is short 6-4+-. But I would really like a hitch that is automatic, and if possible to have the hidden rails. My truck does not have the factory hitch package unfortunately. Any suggestions?

We have just what you would need. For an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch that fits into underbed fifth wheel rails we have the Demco hitch part # DM855037. This hitch will autmatically slide back when making tight turns to give you the needed clearance.
For an underbed rail kit to fit this hitch you would want the part # DM8551006 which is a custom fit rail kit for your truck.
